Mainly clear this evening, low 28

A sunny and mild day will be followed by a pleasant January evening across western Massachusetts. A brief batch of cloud cover will move in through the overnight hours, which will help our temperatures tonight. Overnight lows will only be allowed to fall to the mid-20s.

A cold front will be moving into the region for Sunday. This will be a dry frontal passage though, as skies will be mostly sunny. Winds will be rather strong again, potentially gusting up to 40 mph at times tomorrow afternoon. The cold air behind this front will be lagging behind a little bit, so high temperatures are still expected to top out at a seasonal upper-30s.

Bitter cold will be the main focus for the upcoming week. High temperatures Monday and Tuesday will only be in the 20s, with high temperatures stuck in the teens for Wednesday and Thursday (along with morning lows at or below zero). A low pressure system developing off the coast will likely bring a couple inches of snow to western Massachusetts Monday night into Tuesday morning.
